At the time that w. Z. Barrett, once
of St. Adams, commenced writing the
vermont correspondence" of a Boston
paper, and showing up "the true inward
ness" of the political situation then exis-
ting, how much sport was made of his
letters by the Argus and other ring pa
pers! According to those journals, Bar
rett was a mere nobody, unreliable, I'M
truthful and of no consequence whatever.
Boston papers took different estimate of
Mr.. Barrett's worth, and he rose step by
step until he became managing editor of
the Advertiser. At the last election he
was chosen representative (republican)
from Melrose, Mass, where he resides.
Moral-The quickest way for young
Vermonter to succeed seems to go some
where outside of his own state. Most
too much old fogyism and ring rule in
Vermont for young man to get good
start in political or editorial life.-St.

Vermont Forests.
fFrom the nation.

Vermont not long ago appointed a
forestry commission but, paper pub
lished at the capital, whose editor
has travelled good deal over the
state, says there is not much for it to
do. The Montpelier editor is of the
opinion that wood is now growing
faster in Vermont than it is used,
and he speaks of having visited ma
ny regions where acres upon acres
which were cultivated few years a
go are now growing up to wood. He
thinks that there is no necessity for
any special effort to secure the
growth of wood, and even goes so far
as to say that many farmers might
cut more wood on their farms with
profit. There is no apparent reason
to doubt the soundness of these views
so far as they relate to Vermont, but
investigation ON the other side of the
Connecticut River would show the
urgent necessity of severe restrictions
upon the wholesale operations of the
lumberers. In the White Mountain
region the primeval forests are
steadily and rapidly disappearing I'M
der the AK, and already the bad re-
suits are visible in the alternate
droughts and floods in such beautiful
streams as the Pemigewasset, and in
grave diminution of the attractions
of the region. The summer-resort
industry in New Hampshire, as in
Maine, has become one of the great
est sources of revenue to the people,
and scarcely any limit can be placed
upon its possible Development under
wise management; but the yankee
will show that he has lost his tradi-
tional shrewdness if he does not per.
ceive that he is killing the goose that
lays the golden eggs when he de.
stroys the forests of the state.

The oft-asked question, "Where
do sea-birds obtain fresh water to
Stake their thirst?" is probably cor
rectly answered by an old skipper,
who says that he has frequently seen
these birds far from any land that
could furnish them water, lowering
around and under storm cloud, clat-
tering like ducks on a hot day at a
pond, and drinking in the drops of
rain as they fell. They will smell a
rain squall hundred miles or even
farther off, and scud for it with al
most inconceivable swiftness. They
can probably 60 long time without
water.

MY NATIVE HILLS.
by RrnrocA G. HOLDEN.

by REBEccA G, HOLDEN,
love them-the old hills, that so proudly
Till their evergreen SUBMITS kiss the bend
ing skies;
A picture of beauty they are shrined in
my heart,
Not tint can dim till life shall depart.
When child, on their rugged sides
played;
In later years, dwelt meath their shade I;
In life's afternoon, an alien, stray
From their shelter and beauty, in lands
far away;
But OH with their memory my lonely
heart thrills,
For love them love them! my dear
native hills.
Their rich soil yields of fruit and the
vine;
Their brcezes are tonic that is better
than wind;
And the living waters that leap from their
sod,
Are nectar fit for the tabled Gods.
From Winters storms and Summers
heat;
Alike they're a shelter and cool retreat
Around them there fingers the charm that
clings,
Forever around departed things;
And never, till Death my throbbing heart
stills,
Can l cease to love them-my dear native
hills.
Like food, the swift years have glidet
between
My life, and the scenes Of youths rain
bow-hued dreams;
And sorrow and age, with their burdens
and care,
Have furrowed my brow, and silvered m!
hair;
But the fond ties of affection know no
age or decay,
But grow sweeter and stronger as tn
years pass away;
And my heart sends forth this passionat
cry,
"Let me look on the old hills once NOR
ere l die;
And when Deaths chill shadows sha
over me creep,
At their feet-with my loved ones-let m
sleep my last sleep"
